Has this Daytona been polished?

[alex.cicollo]

I have two Daytonas bought from an AD and they look exactly like yours.

I don’t see an issue here even if they’ve been polished which I don’t think they have.

If you’re not concerned about authenticity, and just the potential polish job, they look exactly like mine…

I'm no expert but I've seen my fair share of new and pre own pieces. IMO, I do not think this piece has been fully polished. Worst case, it my have received a light touch up but lugs, case, PCL all looks good.

I think there is polished and over polished. This doesn't look over polished.

Looks good. Maybe a touch up, but not overdone.

imho the brushing on the bracelet just looked a bit off, can't put my finger on it... but again not a big deal imho it looks great for being a bit used.

Take a look at photos in harsh lights using flash on your new watch from AD and you will be surprised to see the same -- uneven brush strokes in bracelet, the direction and grain are not perfect

It has been polished. Look at the first photo depicting the top of the clasp. The satin polishing lines aren't straight and more accentuated than a factory finish.

But, it really doesn't matter since the case/bracelet are in nice condition and if you keep wearing it for a few months no one will know the difference.

If I might offer my opinion after a few decades of ownership. I have observed that these "is my watch polished" threads are really worrisome for some of those that buy into these threads. Pay less attention to the comments from the unpolished fanatics and enjoy your watch. Most watches will end up being polished eventually.
